My wife and I took this cruise on a Saturday morning and did not regret a minute of it. The tour was almost empty and were all English speakers so our guide could unleash his inner comedian at will. It is a slow leisurely cruise down the Rideau canal to Dows Lake and back, with our guide pointing out the history of the canal and prominent landmarks that we passed. It was an enjoyable 90 minutes spent in the middle of a busy Saturday. The only negative was no coffee served onboard, perhaps they could get a Keurig machine?
